Something About Liberty or Death.
CulcAoo, ILL.,, Nov George Engcl,
the would-be.suicidc, acted like big
grufr bear with sore head the entire day.
He is reported to have said to representa-
tives of the Amnesty association that his
letter. given to the public Il short time ago,
in which he expressed himself, like Par
sons. as wishing either liberty or death,
was forced from him bya powerful outside
influence the nature OF which he darcs not
divulgc. lie also says tina, this letter was
not even written by him, but was pcnncd
outside the Jail and sent him for his sigma.
turc. lie alleged that this being compelled
10 utter sentiments which he did not feel
at heart had broken him all up and that
he did not care TO live any longer. He also
declared that, against his will, he had been
prevented from signing the petition which
Spies, Ficlden and SchWab had addressed
TO GOV. Oglesb,.
During the day Parsons wrote u long
communication, which hc handed To the
reporters unsigned. II was an almost hys-
tcrical drnunciation of the bomb discovery
% . prc-arRngcd trick OF the condemned
H..n's enemies to bhcl,on them in the
eyes of the public. The meals Of the
prisoners being no longer allowed 20 come
from their friends, but being instead fur
nishcd by the sheriff, he permitting the
men TO order at his expense whatever they
like, the hill Of fare has become u subject
of interest. No little curiosity WIS ex-
pressed today as TO just what food such
man as the bomb-makcr lincg would like.
When the time came lingg calmly re-
qucsied blood sausage, saur kraut and ap-
pie pie. He ate them all with relish.
